As the first choice for 400G optical module packaging, QSFP-DD can effectively expand the cloud capacity of data centers and meet the growing bandwidth needs of hyperscale data centers. In the previous article, we introduced the 400G QSFP-DD FR4 optical module. In this article, Yingda brings you a long-distance transmission solution commonly used in hyperscale data centers – 400G QSFP-DD LR8.
400G QSFP-DD LR8 optical module features
400G QSFP-DD LR8 is an 8-channel full-duplex transceiver module, which adopts hot-swappable QSFP-DD package, with a rate of up to 425Gbps, in line with QSFP-DD MSA and IEEE 802.3bs 400GBASE-LR8 Ethernet standards, dual LC interface, central wavelength of 1310nm, operating temperature range of 0~70℃, under the premise of FEC in the system, the transmission distance through single-mode optical fiber can reach up to 10km, the maximum power consumption is less than 12.5W, and it meets RoHS environmental protection standards.
Working Principle
DML lasers with 8 LWDM wavelengths (5nm wavelength interval, TEC cooler is required to control temperature) can achieve a single-wave rate of 106.25Gbps based on the PAM4 modulation format, and are coupled into an SMF for transmission through MUX, achieving 425Gbps data interconnection within 10km.

Application
400G QSFP-DD LR8 fiber optic products has excellent performance and uses direct modulated laser (DML) transmitter technology to provide low-power, low-risk, cost-effective solutions for 400G, mainly used in data centers and telecommunications networks.

In addition to optical modules that can achieve 400G high-speed transmission, Yingda can also provide 400G QSFP-DD LR8 AOC cable, which can achieve data exchange and transmission more efficiently and quickly, and help the development of the next generation of data centers.
